templated

Modules are deprecated and will be removed in version 0.14. Please use action-based configuration instead. See the 0.12 to Bonsai migration guide for details.

Description

[DEPRECATED] Please use the new RenderTemplate config kind instead.

A special module type, for rendering module templates. See the Config Templates guide for more information.

Specify the name of a ConfigTemplate with the template field, and provide any expected inputs using the inputs field. The generated modules becomes sub-modules of this module.

Note that the following common Module configuration fields are disallowed for this module type: build, local, description, include, exclude, repositoryUrl, allowPublish, generateFiles, variables and varfile

Below is the full schema reference. For an introduction to configuring Garden modules, please look at our Configuration guide.

The first section contains the complete YAML schema, and the second section describes each schema key.

templated modules also export values that are available in template strings. See the Outputs section below for details.

    sourcePath:

    # POSIX-style filename to write the resolved file contents to, relative to the path of the module source directory

If set to true, Garden will run the build command, services, tests, and tasks in the module source directory, instead of in the Garden build directory (under .garden/build/).

Garden will therefore not stage the build for local modules. This means that include/exclude filters and ignore files are not applied to local modules, except to calculate the module/action versions.

If you use use build.dependencies[].copy for one or more build dependencies of this module, the copied files will be copied to the module source directory (instead of the build directory, as is the default case when local = false).

Note: This maps to the buildAtSource option in this module's generated Build action (if any).

Specify a list of POSIX-style paths or globs that should be regarded as the source files for this module. Files that do not match these paths or globs are excluded when computing the version of the module, when responding to filesystem watch events, and when staging builds.

Note that you can also exclude files using the exclude field or by placing .gardenignore files in your source tree, which use the same format as .gitignore files. See the Configuration Files guide for details.

Also note that specifying an empty list here means no sources should be included.

Note that you can also explicitly include files using the include field. If you also specify the include field, the files/patterns specified here are filtered from the files matched by include. See the Configuration Files guide for details.

Unlike the scan.exclude field in the project config, the filters here have no effect on which files and directories are watched for changes. Use the project scan.exclude field to affect those, if you have large directories that should not be watched for changes.

generateFiles > targetPath

POSIX-style filename to write the resolved file contents to, relative to the path of the module source directory (for remote modules this means the root of the module repository, otherwise the directory of the module configuration).

Note that any existing file with the same name will be overwritten. If the path contains one or more directories, they will be automatically created if missing.

TypeRequired

posixPath

Yes

generateFiles[].resolveTemplates

generateFiles > resolveTemplates

By default, Garden will attempt to resolve any Garden template strings in source files. Set this to false to skip resolving template strings. Note that this does not apply when setting the value field, since that's resolved earlier when parsing the configuration.

No

varfile

Specify a path (relative to the module root) to a file containing variables, that we apply on top of the module-level variables field.

The format of the files is determined by the configured file's extension:

Note: You can use template strings for the inputs, but be aware that inputs that are used to generate the resulting config names and other top-level identifiers must be resolvable when scanning for configs, and thus cannot reference other actions, modules or runtime variables. See the environment configuration context reference to see template strings that are safe to use for inputs used to generate config identifiers.

Task Outputs

The following keys are available via the ${runtime.tasks.<task-name>} template string key for templated module tasks. Note that these are only resolved when deploying/running dependants of the task, so they are not usable for every field.
